Iodine-131 in Utah during July and August 1962

Abstract
Nuclear explosions in Nevada in July 1962 caused an average intake of about 58,000 picocuries of I131 and a peak intake of 800,000 picocuries of I131 by Utah residents consuming one liter of milk per day. Corresponding infant thyroid doses were about 1 rad (average) and 14 rad (peak).
